Office lighting in Greenock
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. For office lighting in Greenock we design to about 500 lux on desks, as BS EN 12464-1 suggests, and keep glare off screens by choosing the right optics rather than simply adding more light.
Local office lighting in Greenock
Meeting rooms are where Greenock offices waste most light. Presence detectors that switch off after a set time pay back quickly in rooms that sit empty for half the day.
Many Greenock office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
For Greenock premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
